Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2023 / Notices 87415 

includes dredging and placement of an 

anticipated 3.5–4.5 million cubic yards 

of dredged material for the required 

widening and deepening of the existing 

access channel and turning basin. The 

project dredging includes widening and 

deepening an existing access channel/ 

turning basin, and connection into the 

Brewerton Federal Navigation channel. 

The proposed project plan also includes 

the construction of an offshore Dredged 

Material Containment Facility (DMCF) 

in the Patapsco River on the west side 

of Coke Point to provide placement 

capacity for dredged material. An 

offshore DMCF to provide capacity for 

the total anticipated dredged material 

volume would permanently fill 

approximately 100 acres of tidal waters 

of the United States. As part of the EIS 

process, the Corps will consider 

minimization measures for dredging and 

a combination of alternatives for 

dredged material placement. 

The project includes a proposed 

compensatory mitigation plan. The 

compensatory mitigation plan is under 

development and will be completed as 

part of the development of the EIS. 

2. Location. The project site is located 

within the Tradepoint Atlantic 

development on the Coke Point 

peninsula in the Patapsco River, 

Sparrows Point, Baltimore County, 

Maryland. [Latitude: 39.211222° and 

Longitude: ¥76.490349°] 

3. Project Purpose. To develop 

Sparrows Point Container Terminal 

(SPCT), a new container terminal and 

associated facilities that would be 

located on the Coke Point Peninsula 

within the Patapsco River in Baltimore, 

Maryland. 

4. Alternatives. The EIS will evaluate 

an array of alternatives for dredging, 

dredged material disposal, and 

construction. Alternatives may include, 

but are not limited to, no action 

alternative, dredged material placement 

options including upland disposal 

onsite, upland disposal offsite, 

beneficial and innovative reuse of 

dredge material, and offshore ocean 

placement. In order to accommodate the 

anticipated volume of dredged material, 

these options may be evaluated alone or 

on combination. 

Specifically, alternatives may be 

combined to reduce the footprint of the 

offshore DMCF. These options include 

(1) a DMCF in the existing on-site High 

Head Reservoir; (2) use of existing 

offsite upland DMCFs; (3) ocean 

disposal of dredged material; (4) a 

nearshore DMCF; and/or (5) beneficial 

reuse. 

Mitigation measures could include, 

but are not limited to, avoidance and 

minimization, enhancement, 

restoration, or establishment of 

wetlands. 

5. Scoping Process. The scoping 

period will continue for 60 days from 

the date of this Notice of Intent. During 

the scoping period, the Corps invites 

federal, state, and local agencies, Native 

American Tribes, other interested 

parties, and the general public to 

participate in the scoping process. The 

purpose of the scoping process is to 

provide information to the public, serve 

as a mechanism to solicit agency and 

public input on alternatives, identify 

significant issues to be analyzed in the 

EIS, and ensure full and open 

participation in scoping for the draft 

EIS. Scoping comments may be 

submitted by conventional mail or 

email. All comments must include the 

Corps number NAB–2023–61200. To be 

accepted, email comments must 

originate from the author’s email 

account. All comments received will 

become part of the administrative record 

and are subject to public release under 

the Freedom of Information Act 

including any personally identifiable 

information such as names, phone 

numbers, and addresses. Additional 

information on the project and scoping 

process are available on the Corps’ 

website at this link: https://www.nab.

usace.army.mil/SPCT/ 

6. Scoping Meetings. The Corps will 

conduct public scoping meetings during 

the scoping period in which agencies, 

organizations, and members of the 

general public are invited to present 

comments or suggestions with regard to 

the range of actions, alternatives, and 

potential impacts to be considered in 

the EIS. The Corps has scheduled two 

public scoping meetings, one in-person 

and one virtual as described below: (a) 

In-person: Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 

5:30 p.m. Display material and staff will 

be available beginning at 5:30 p.m. with 

a presentation following at 6 p.m. at the 

Sollers Point Multi-Purpose Center; 323 

Sollers Point Rd, Dundalk, MD 21222; 

and (b) Virtual: Thursday, January 25, 

2024, beginning at 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Access the virtual scoping meeting at 

this link: https://bit.ly/

SparrowsPoint2024 

7. Availability of the Draft EIS. The 

draft EIS is estimated to be available for 

public review and comment in January 

2025. At that time, a public review 

period will be provided for public 

review and comment on the draft EIS. 

8. Analyses and Consultation. The EIS 

will be integrated with analyses and 

consultation required by the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 

section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors 

Act, section 401 and section 404 of the 

Clean Water Act, section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, section 103 of 

the of the Marine Protection, Research 

and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA), the Clean 

Air Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act, section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act, 

Prime and Unique Farmlands, and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. All 

appropriate documentation (i.e., section 

7, section 106 coordination letters, and 

public and agency comments) will be 

obtained and included as part of the 

EIS. As part of the EIS process, 

recommendations will be based on an 

evaluation of the probable impact of the 

proposed activity on the public interest. 

The decision will reflect the national 

concern for the protection and 

utilization of important resources. The 

benefit, which may reasonably be 

expected to accrue from the proposal, 

will be balanced against its reasonably 

foreseeable detriments. All factors that 

may be relevant to the proposal will be 

considered, among these are wetlands; 

fish and wildlife resources; cultural 

resources; land use; water and air 

quality; hazardous, toxic, and 

radioactive substances; threatened and 

endangered species; regional geology; 

aesthetics; environmental justice; 

navigation; cumulative impacts; and the 

general needs and welfare of the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Navy Health of the Force 

Survey Program; OMB Control Number 

0703–HOFG. 

Type of Request: New Generic 

Information Collection Request. 

Number of Respondents: 150,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 150,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 50,000. 

Needs and Uses: The Navy Health of 

the Force Survey program is a strategic 

level engagement survey initiative 

designed to assess climate and culture 

across the entire Department of the 

Navy (DoN) enterprise. When deployed, 

the Health of the Force (HoF) Survey is 

tailored to the unique population 

(Active Duty Navy, Reserve Navy, 

Active Duty Marine Corps, and Navy 

civilians) being surveyed, but also 

includes a core set of questions and 

metrics that support comparisons across 

the Navy and provide a means for 

evaluating changes in culture and 

climate over time. 

The DoN has already received OMB 

approval to conduct the mainline Navy 

HoF Survey under OMB Control 

Number 0703–0079. The Department 

has also submitted an information 

collection request for a Reserves-specific 

HoF survey. With this Generic 

Information Collection Request, the 

Department seeks to bring all current 

and future HoF surveys under one OMB 

Control Number. The streamlined 

Generic approval process will grant the 

Navy Survey Office additional 

flexibility to (1) quickly implement 

changes that may be made to the HoF 

surveys from year to year and (2) add 

new HoF surveys that ask similar 

questions and utilize similar methods 

but target unique personnel 

populations. 

Every HoF survey will include 

validated metrics for inclusion, 

connectedness, trust, organizational 

commitment, and cohesion. Other 

metrics that will be collected annually 

or biennially include job/career 

satisfaction, burnout, workplace 

incivility, and work/life balance. The 

survey results provide answers to 

important questions for Navy leadership 

about a range of topics including: 

• Retention plans and influences to 

stay or leave 

• Readiness and ability to perform 

core missions 

• Importance/utilization of mentoring 

and professional development 

opportunities 

• Access to key resources like 

childcare, healthcare, financial and 

personal support services 

• Views on unique navy programs 

(i.e., Get Real, Get Better; Quality of 

Service, etc.) 

• Personal well-being (mental, 

physical, and emotional) 

• Interpersonal relationships in the 

workplace 

• Levels of stress and key stressors 

Finally, the survey provides Navy 

personnel with an opportunity to tell 

Navy leaders, in their own words, what 

they are concerned about and what they 

need to make the Navy a stronger, more 

effective organization. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households (DoN civilians, active and 

reserve service members). 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
